This was a unplanned journey which is done with Nirosh and few of his friends. On this day I was travelling to Kandy for a personal work by bicycle and Nirosh and his friends were roaming around Kithugala, Yatiyantota in the morning. Then I told him to join with me at Dolosbage road which can come from Nawalapitiya as they have passed Olu fall also. Then we met in the evening and headed to Dolosbage and planned to cover road side waterfalls as they didn’t visited them before. We didn;t think about the beautiful falls located bit away from the main road such as Suramba Fall, Diyathiri Fall etc.
I was visited all of these waterfalls in May 2014 but the water level considering to 2014 to 2018 was bit higher.
 Map of these three falls, it will located in 6km area |
Rikili Falls (රිකිලි ඇල්ල)
This was located at the road from Bulathkohupitiya to Dolosbage/ Dedugala. This was always moving due to the wind and reaching to the fall is not difficult as there are notices and footpath also.

Nalagana Fall (නළඟන ඇල්ල)
This beautiful fall located at the beginning of the bends. There was a beautiful road with many narrow bends and it is starting from this place. There is a name board at the road and it is about 500m walk to the fall. There is a special notice marked on a mid of rock and it clearly warning about flash floowds.

Rukmal Falls (රුක්මල් ඇල්ල)
This fall located at the end of the bends and the left hand side of the main road. This was situated at a small bend and there is a little area to rest and park our vehicles too. This is a short and sweet waterfall and I was lucky to see this much of water level.
